New Member Night

New Member Night is a segment that ran during the eighth season of The Red Green Show.

In this segment, Red invites an existing Possum Lodge member to introduce a prospective new member and then asks the rest of the Lodge members to vote on whether to let him in.

Each new person has a quirk of some sort that the introducing member finds appealing, and in virtually every case, the introducing member finds a way to convince the rest of the Lodge to admit him usually by giving them an incentive or threatening some alternative action the Lodge wouldn't like.

Every new member featured in this segment is admitted to the Lodge, though most of them never appear again in later episodes. A couple of new members reappear in the Lodge Meetings.

According to a commentary by Steve Smith in the Stuffed and Mounted DVD set, the actors would pick a random member of the studio audience to stand on stage while they made jokes about him.
